“We need The Bad Guys for the biggest heist in history!” The Bad Guys… in space? DreamWorks Animation has revealed a second trailer for The Bad Guys 2, the next exhilarating animated sequel from DWA. Set to hit theaters everywhere in August later this summer. The Bad Guys are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys, when they are pulled out of retirement and forced to do “one last job” by an all-female squad of criminals – known as The Bad Girls. Everyone’s favorite felons are back, and this time, they’ve got company. Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Shark & Mr. Piranha return and they find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by other criminals. The Bad Guys 2 features the stellar original cast: Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, and Awkwafina. And newcomers for this one include Danielle Brooks as The Bad Girls leader Kitty Kat, a clever snow leopard; Maria Bakalova as Pigtail, a brilliant Bulgarian wild boar engineer; Natasha Lyonne as Doom, a wry raven with a knack for deception. Looking like this might actually be a great follow-up to the first movie, with some very entertaining & visually astounding sequences all rolled into one.

Here’s the second official trailer (+ recent poster) for Pierre Perifel’s sequel The Bad Guys 2, via YouTube:

Everyone’s favorite felons are back, and this time, they’ve got company. In the recent action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very demanding) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a recent team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls. The Bad Guys 2 is once again directed by animation filmmaker Pierre Perifel, making his second feature after the first film and lots of work as an animator at DreamWorks previously. Co-directed by JP Sans, who was head of character animation on the first film. Adapted from the Scholastic book series by Aaron Blabey. Produced by Damon Ross. Made by DreamWorks Animation at DWA Glendale, and also by Jellyfish Pictures. Featuring music composed by Daniel Pemberton. Universal Pictures will debut The Bad Guys 2 movie in theaters starting August 1st, 2025 delayed next summer. First impression? Ready for more?
